Oakland County International Airport recorded a 52 mph wind gust at 6:53am ET and Ms. Smith determined that higher winds signaled the need for sirens. Also, when a siren in one Oakland County community is activated, alarms go off across all of Oakland County.

So when sirens are sounded, seek shelter immediately even if there are no tornadoes.

Stay tuned to JustWeather.com and Local 4 News as well for alerts and reports from the Local 4 Casters.
